I would like to become more efficient in my use of PBW. 5 TBSP scoops per 5 gallons gets somewhat expensive after a while.

Is anyone out there racking the solution from a scrubbed corny or fermenter to a bottling bucket or other vessel for future use?

IE.: If Im bottling the same day Im cleaning (scrubbed) fermenters, can I mix up just one batch of PBW solution?


Thanks!

A little last on the reply but here are my thoughts.
I've never saved it for future use, but I try to clean as much stuff at the same time as possible. For instance, last week I kegged 4 fermenters worth of beer into cornies, and also had 3 empty cornies. I was able to use one batch of PBW and hot water to clean them all. I think if you tried to save it for later it would settle out and be hard to use. You'ld also have the issue of re-warming it. It definitely needs to be hot to work best..
